TAPING AND FINISHING WITH MECHANICAL TOOLS
Taping – Taping tools such as the “banjo” and “hopper” types are recommended for
taping the flat joints with Sta-Smooth Compounds and the inside corners with ProForm
regular joint compounds or with Sta-Smooth Compounds. Automatic taping tools are
not recommended for use with hardening-type compounds. Mechanical tools can be
used for taping the inside corners when a ProForm regular joint compound is used.
When automatic taping tools are used for taping the flat joints, the “V” formed by the
edges of Sta-Smooth board on the flat joints and all spaces between the gypsum board
edges on butt joints are prefilled with Sta-Smooth Compounds and allowed to harden
(30 minutes longer than the set time designated on the bag) prior to taping with a
regular ProForm joint compound.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
ProForm BRAND Sta-Smooth Compounds are available in 20, 45, 90 and 210 minute set
times. MIX NO MORE COMPOUND THAN CAN BE APPLIED IN THE DESIGNATED
SET TIME. Contact your National Gypsum Company Representative for availability.
A plastic container is recommended because of its ease in cleaning between batches.
Do not use a wood or aluminum bucket. Add the compound gradually to clean water
while stirring. Note: Use only fresh, clean water suitable for human consumption.
Mix at the ratio of 13-14 pints of water to the 25 lb. bag. Mix the compound free of
lumps with a mechanical mixer or by hand. Mechanical mixing is recommended.
Allow to stand 5 minutes as a “wetting” period and remix to further improve the
working qualities. If a slightly thinner compound is desired, add an additional pint of
water, or less, after the compound is thoroughly mixed.

DESCRIPTION
Gold Bond® BRAND Hi-Impact XP® Gypsum Board panels consist
of a mold, moisture and fire resistant type X gypsum core
encased in heavy, smooth, abrasion-resistant, mold/mildew-
resistant, 100% recycled purple paper on the face side and
heavy mold/mildew resistant liner paper on the back side. A
fiberglass mesh is embedded in the core, close to the back of
the board to provide additional impact/penetration resistance.
Hi-Impact XP Gypsum Board features a specially formulated
core to provide fire resistance ratings when used in tested
systems in addition to providing extra protection against mold
and mildew compared to standard gypsum board products.
Long edges of panels are tapered. Tapered edges allow joints
to be treated in the normal manner. For optimum mold and
mildew resistance, National Gypsum recommends ProForm

DESCRIPTION
ProForm BRAND
Perfect Spray
A decorative texture product
for fast spray application
to interior ceiling surfaces.
Its shredded polystyrene
aggregate gives this texturing
product greater whiteness,
better hide and bold accent.
Recommended for interior
ceilings that are formed of
new or previously painted
gypsum board or monolithic PROFORM BRAND PROFORM BRAND
concrete or plaster. PERFECT SPRAY PERFECT SPRAY
Available coarse, medium, TEXTURE–FINE EM - ORANGE PEEL
and fine (40 lb. bag).
ProForm BRAND
Perfect Spray EM
Perfect Spray EM is a non-
aggregated texture product
used to create a wide range
of wall surfaces.When used
in conjunction with textured
ceilings Perfect Spray EM
can be applied without
overspray affecting the
ceiling previously sprayed
with (aggregated) Perfect
Spray. By adjusting mixture
consistency and/or varying PROFORM BRAND PROFORM BRAND
the atomizing pressure, PERFECT SPRAY PERFECT SPRAY
Perfect Spray EM creates an TEXTURE–MEDIUM EM - SPATTER
almost endless variety of
textures, the most typical of
09 29 00
which are Spray Spatter,
Spatter Knockdown and
Orange Peel. Surfaces
can be finished with a coat
of paint. Perfect Spray EM
(nonaggregated) is specially
formulated for easy mixing
and easy pumping and is
available in 50 lb. bags.
Perfect Spray EM
Texture Application
Texturing can be, depending PROFORM BRAND PROFORM BRAND
on desired pattern, a single- PERFECT SPRAY PERFECT SPRAY
or multiple-coat operation TEXTURE–COARSE EM - SPATTER +
using a spray texture gun fed KNOCKDOWN
by a piston or Moyno-type
pump. An Orange Peel
Finish is achieved with a
high atomizing pressure and
thin mix. A Spatter Finish
uses a low atomizing
pressure and heavy mix.
Other finishes can be
created by combining
methods in two coat
operations or troweling
spatter patterns before fully
dried (Spatter Knockdown).
Caution: Where a vapor
retarder has been installed
above a gypsum board
ceiling, adequate ventilation
must be provided during the
drying period. This
precaution is necessary in
order to minimize the
possibility of gypsum board
sagging due to moisture
absorption.
